They scaled down the Matilda, I've been hoping that they'll do the same with the Elephant. There doesnt seem to be much ryme or reason to the 1/48th scale releases though. Oh well. At least we are getting a new tank instead of another truck or armored car. I will pick this one up as soon as it is availiable.
